Hi

My exs24 library is on a different drive, and due to the size of it, i 
didn t had any choice (got over 120 gig, and at the time, internal 
could nt handle that).

It does work, BUT, be aware that in most cases, internal drive 
will be faster than any other external drive; of course, i don t know 
wich one is in your laptop and you should verify this with 
someone who knows about benchtest. Last but not least, never 
forget that, if ain t broke, don t touch it !

PS you could had another internal drive, this is what i m gonna 
do with my new computer, but then again, it s not a laptop, dunno 
about the possibility of hading another drive to a laptop
